Possible to set timezone?

[Liam]

I've just come across a problem I've never thought about before...

I'm based in the UK and realised my scripts no longer have my own timezone for obvious reasons. Basically, I could really do with the time zone being GMT.

I realise it is easy enough to do from within a php script but would like a more permanent fix if possible.

I've tried adding the following to a htaccess to no avail:
SetEnv TZ Europe/London

Any ideas?

You can with your dedicated set this in the system:
First:logon as SU

Change directory to /etc
# cd /etc

And I think for centos this is the path to create a symlink:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/?dirname?/zonefile
when this is determined replace the path in the following

# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT localtime

Now use date command to verify that your timezone is changed:

$ date

If the server is set to use NTP you might have to cron this

Cheers for the reply... and umm any suggestions for a mere reseller/shared server?

This is a little late (sorry, I'm new to the forums) but a solution might be the following:

In your .htaccess file, try this:

php_value date.timezone Europe/London

Available since PHP 5.1.0

A list of PHPs supported timezones is in the appendix, located at: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

Hope that helps!
